And I think I need to do another proper review because this series just keeps changing. And I love it.

So a few things:

- This volume is not my favorite. It doesn't really show what Pandora Hearts is about.
- Nothing is what it seems. Nothing. No, seriously, NOTHING is what it seems.
- If you're reading this online, you'll have to put up with the not so accurate translations and spellings. It gets better later on, though.

This is officially the first manga I've ever read. I don't usually read this kind of stuff - comic books, manga, even heavily illustrated books - because I prefer using black printed words on a page to imagine what I'm reading about.

But goodness, I just loved it. I almost would say it's 5-star to me, just because the characters and the story were so good - I can't help it, but I adore poor Oz and his predicament (and Break, I love Break) - but I'm a newbie here and I'll stick with my first impre...more

This review will be VERY VERY long.

Oz, a boy who enjoys mischief and pranks with his servant Gilbert, and his younger sister Ada. He lives in a mansion, and has a good life. He is about to turn 15 and have his first coming of age ceremony. Completly ignoring the fact that his father hates him, he attends his coming of age ceremony. The clock that hasn't struck for 100 years suddenly does. And he is dragged into the Abyss, a prision where the worst sinner of sinners go. The group that sends him there are known as the Baskervilles, and his sin is:existing. The series takes a very dark turn from that point on. While in the Abyss, he meets a chain, one known as Alice, who is surrounded what could be Toys R Us from hell marrionetts and she forms a contract with him in order to get out of the Abyss once and for all. This makes Oz an illegal contractor, and his life will be shortned by a seal that appears on the contractor's body. (view spoiler), and along with Gil, Sharon, Xerxces Break, Alice, and Oz, they all try and find the peices of Alice's memory while she was in the Abyss, and try and uncover her past.

That's the basic plot.

Now, to read PH you must have an open mind and patience. I view this series sort of like an Alice and Wonderland Higurashi. All the peices and clues and threads simply cannot be answered in one volume. You sometimes will need to go back and forth from each volume, as I did. But once you read each volume (I read online) you will go OHHHHH or facepalm yourself saying THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. PH is like a jigzaw puzzle or a maze. You cannot read the volumes OFO because trust me: you will have ABSOLUTLEY NO IDEA what is going on. It must be read in the correct order. It's like a maze: you start out and you go farther and farther then something happens, you back track, hit a dead end, back track some more, and when you think you have the answer-you do not. And that's how Jun Mochizuki does it. And to me: IT'S THE MOST AMAZING MANGA I HAVE READ!!! FUCK HIGURASHI SCREW DEATH NOTE THIS SERIES BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY WITH A FAN!!!! In short, yes I love this manga but it is something you will have to re read constantly in order to properly understand (never minding if you do u may not fully still be able to do so).

The characters are all complex. The first volume was not my favorite because you have no idea what the fuck is going on. I love all the characters, and as the series grows, you will find a favorite character for different reasons. Because they are all either: tormented, have a tramatic past, are psychotic, loveable, or just plain mentally insane. They are never what they seem. One character may be good one chapter, the next they may be cutting off your heads. And it is a thrill to read about them.

This series refrences to many Alice In Wonderland icons. In particular: Alice, the Chesire Cat, The Doormouse, Dodo, tea parties, the Mad Hatter, and many more. The art is....well....Jun Mochizuki is GOD of manga art work I will just say that. The volume covers have many clues, and each cover character that's featured gets their own chair on the inside of the cover.

The characters will have you sobbing, and laughing, pissed off, just about every emotion you can think of. The twists and turns you NEVER see coming. And....it's just amazing go read it. Now. You must. That is all I can say. I love this series, and even for someone who HATES gore, I think the violence made the story all that more enjoyable. The writing is damn near poetic, and I loved every word that she put into this amazing series. There is beheading, blood, betrayl, murder, mystery, and a great cast, plus an awesome story. Go read it right the hell now. It is a masterpeice.

I'd advise you all to read on www.animea.net. Or any other manga reading site. This series is so underrated and it needs more love. I started 3 days ago and I'm still in shock from all 74 chapters. There are 10 volumes in english, and 17 in japan. Go buy the first 10 or 11 (ll will be out this month). And read the rest online. I don't think I did the manga justice. But that's my two cents on PH. Also an 25 ep. anime series. This series is a gem. Truly.

I've been having neck pain lately, which keeps me up at night. So, I decided what better way to divert myself than by rereading a most excellent manga series?

Pandora Hearts is one of those series that I knew I would love once I gave it the time it was due. It's complex, both in plot and the way the story unfolds. It's easy to get lost between volumes (when you're waiting months in between releases). What makes it great, though, is that it's a really wonderful series for rereading. You simply can...more

Ok, I first came across this series when I had become up to date with another. I was scrolling down the 'Popular Manga' list and then I saw it. The first thing that got me was the cover. The art on the title page was quite pretty so I decided I'd give it a try. When I first tried reading it, I was sort of confused so I abandoned it for a while.

Having finished volume 1, I only have one major thought - what the bloody hell is going on?

This is the second time I'm reading this. The first time I read it was directly after reading Dogs and it really altered the way I digested this volume. The second time was right after reviewing Soul Eater, and we all know how that review went, so my second reading of this volume was a lot more favourable than my earlier opinion of it.

When I first started reading this book, my friend Chloe (who reccommended it to me) told me that "Everything I believed was true was in fact wrong."
I'm sure there was more capslock in there. Regardless, back when I started this specific volume I had no idea of how much that would prove to be absolutely correct.

Pandora Hearts

Type of book: Manga/Comic

Written and drawn by Jun Mochizuki

Pandora Hearts tells the story of 15 year old Oz Vessalius, who is the heir of House Vessalius, one of four dukedoms in the country he lives in. He has an easygoing happy life with best friend and loyal valet Gil, but soon all is changed when, on the day of his Coming of Age Ceremony, he is condemned of a sin he does not know of and cast into a dark void called the Abyss, only ever spoken of in legends. Though the Abyss was once a golden dimension promising salvation for mankind, it was somehow transformed into a realm full of once human monsters called Chains, which devour any who enters. Oz manages to escape thanks to the aid of the deadliest Chain in the Abyss, the Bloodstained Black Rabbit Alice, in exchange for helping her find her memories, hidden in fragments throughout Oz’s world. But before they can get far, they learn that the delicate chains that surround the world, preventing the darkness of the Abyss from engulfing it, are now being shattered one by one, having started from a certain tragedy from 100 years past. Now Oz, accompanied by Gil, Alice, and many more comrades and enemies, must unravel the mystery of the Abyss, the tragedy of 100 years past, and perhaps most importantly, themselves, before the invisible chains are destroyed, and the world with everyone they love is dropped into the Abyss and lost forever.

This series is absolutely wonderful, with intense action scenes, lots of comedic relief, sorrow and tears, life changing lessons, and heartwarming moments. Not many books can achieve all of these at once, but Pandora Hearts manages to incorporate so many different emotions in such a great way that keeps me reading and reading. The story is fast paced and exciting, and it feels like not one scene was unnecessary or a chore to read. Not only that, but this series has some of the wickedest plot twists that I have ever seen, some that left me literally gaping at the book in an attempt to understand the madness it had just presented me with…then I’m furiously flipping to the next pages to know more. Another thing I love about Pandora Hearts are the large references to Alice in Wonderland. Most, if not all of the Chains in the Abyss have names from Alice in Wonderland, for example, Mad Hatter and March Hare. The only negative I would have is that some of the characters, like Alice, are a little hard for me to warm up to, because they can be obnoxious, and hard to relate to.
All in all, Pandora Hearts is a charm that I would recommend to anyone, regardless of age (though the art can be somewhat graphic), for an amazing series that I, at least, wish would never end.

First, the artwork is gorgeous. Whether it's an action scene, an emotional moment, or horror and madness, the artwork always delivers. Though the comic relief isn't as frequent as some other series, it's well done. What could have easily been jarring flows just as well as the rest of the plot.

Oz, in order to escape the Abyss, made a contract with Alice, who wishes to find her memories, and Oz wishes to find out what his 'sin' was for being thrown into the Abyss.

Its interesting and strange, I'll tell you that first. I love fantasy but I'm all about urban fantasy so Pandora Hearts was a little hard to grasp since it is set in its own world.

I read Pandora Hearts with a little apprehension. I haven't liked any Alice in Wonderland remakes. However, I really enjoyed Pandora Hearts. It didn't try too hard to obviously be an Alice remake, and the plot and characters were really interesting.

At first, I didn't really care for Oz. His happy-go-lucky attitude was really annoying. But, I think I would have been even more annoyed if he got super depressed about everything that happened. Instead he was able to try to be cheerful about things...more

Despite being a colorful hodge-podge collection of bits and pieces from different sources like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz among others, Pandora Hearts has a style and story that is very much its own. What starts out as an innocently humorous romp through an overgrown castle turns into a literal tumble through the rabbit-hole into the world of the Abyss and a brand new destiny for one Oz Vessalius. Oz is an arrogant little scamp who makes a surpisingly competent hero, mainly because of his friendship with Gil and his unabashed curiosity. In turn, Oz's new companion Alice is a stark contrast to the innocent blonde-haired girl from Lewis Carroll's story. Alice is a dark-haired 'bloody black rabbit' with amnesia issues whose own conceitedness and smug attitude rivals Oz's; it's pretty obvious from chapter one that Alice is a killer tsundere in the making (and I do mean killer).

Pandora Hearts has a lot of things going for it in its first volume: it has a sizeable cast of characters that really push the story forward; I especially like Lady Sharon and her manservant Xerxes Break with their snarky banter and dubious agenda. It's set in a world that is similar to eighteenth-century Europe but with unnatural creatures and magic better suited for the world of dreams (or the Abyss) than reality. The Abyss is like someone took the world of the original Alice, added the aesthetic senses of Rozen Maiden and .hack//sign, then literally shook it up like a snowglobe until it exploded. I hope there are more scenes in the series set in the Abyss; it was truly an interesting place to explore. Above all, the pacing is rather good for a first volume - a little fast, yes, but it sets up the foundation for the entire series without wasting too much time on exposition. Plus, there is plenty of intriguing foreshadowing for future events, like Alice's past and the identities of the mysterious robed figures who tried to kill Oz; it seems that Mochizuki certainly has a way with subtle plotting.

Right now, Pandora Hearts is looking like quite an awesome fantasy series, especially if one enjoys a darker take on the kind of world-hopping adventures seen in the pages of Lewis Carroll's books. Plus, for tsundere fans, Alice and her relationship with Oz is a dream come true. I'm looking forward to reading the next volume, and the next one, and the next one; I'm sure this series will be drawing more and more readers under its spell soon enough.

After reading Jun Mochizuki's Crimson Shell, I thought looking through Pandora Hearts wouldn't be a bad idea. If he could develop characters well in a one shot manga, there was no telling how he could develop characters in a longer series. So, I bought the first volume and read through it. Three times. In a row.

The art (particularly in the costume design) is gorgeous. It reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist--a style I adore.

Interestingly, the story reminds me of FMA on a few levels. The premise of this volume is horrific surreal fantasy with quasi-religious elements. (It also has some Alice in Wonderland references, which is cool.) Some plotlines from FMA--like being "swallowed" by Gluttony, the "Truth," etc.--have a similar feel.

This whole book is weird. It seems to take pieces from Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz and a couple other things, but it doesn't use any of them in a readily recognizable way. The protagonist Oz is only fifteen and who knows how old the B. Rabbit Alice is, but things get a bit creepily sexual between them without removing any clothes.
